The Galaxy were inspired to victory over Dallas in midweek by Robbie Keane and will hope he can conjure up some more magic as they seek to take advantage of their games in and overtake Colorado Rapids.

Rapids take on the Eastern Conference's bottom side Montreal Impact and could leapfrog Vancouver Whitecaps with a win - provided the Canadians fail to spring a surprise against leaders Seattle Sounders.

San Jose Earthquakes were seen off by an Obafemi Martins goal against the Sounders and will take confidence from that showing when they take on Houston in Monday's final game.

Real Salt Lake and Dallas meet at the Rio Tinto Stadium knowing a draw could see them both slip further off Seattle's pace - with the hosts eager to maintain their unbeaten record.

Jeffrey Cassar's side are the only team in the MLS yet to taste defeat and reserve goalkeeper Jeff Attinella paid tribute to their team spirit - despite the recent absence of captain Kyle Beckerman, keeper Nick Rimando and midfielder Alvaro Saborio.

"We're a pretty tight group," he said. "When we say we're going to miss the guys that are gone it's not only on the field, it's in the locker room, it's every day.

"We know that we can get better. Luckily for (us in) the first 11 games it’s been going our way."
